One of a kine cigar5/8/2023 – Whether you’re a CEO, a janitor or whatever you want to be, but if we sit down and smoke like how we smoking now, we have this in common. This cigar don’t care what your occupation is. And this is all shades of life, and him and I got something in common, which we all do, sitting here smoking a cigar. So we pretty much call all the guys who older than us uncle. How did you get this successful? How do you stay this successful? And what do you do? I’m a I need to learn every day kind of guy. So for me, it’s hanging out with guys who are more successful than me now. ![]() Cigars Are the Common Denominators That Bring People Together That’s what I love about the smoke shop every day. They’ve already done what you’re seeking to do and they can help guide you in the right direction. Or you can fight the intimidation, just like you have to do to win a game, and you can get rewarded at the end because these guys are gonna teach you how to do things and be great mentors and great friends and have an opportunity to learn something from somebody else who’s already done it. It’s like, you can get intimidated and you can walk out and go, yeah, that wasn’t for me, that was really unpleasant. – Well, you get what you put into it, is the way I looked at it. What to Watch Out for Your First Trip to a Cigar Shop It could be intimidating, but it’s like anything else in the world, you gotta be consistent. You know what I mean? Not a lot of young people can stick inside that uncomfortable feeling. When you go in there and there’s a bunch of older guys that have been doing this for a long time and they look at you and they kind of look at you like you probably aren’t going to stick around. But I was saying earlier, going in the smoke shop, it’s kind of intimidating, and a lot of our viewers out there they’ll know, it’s intimidating to go into a smoke shop when you’re young, 18, 19, 20, 21, whatever the legal age is now. It’s bacon and more bacon, and then add a little bit more bacon to it, and then it’s Fred approved. – I followed him on Instagram ’cause it was enticing to just be getting ideas of what I could be cooking. He puts it in our group chat that the McRib is back. – How about food? He knows more about food. What I love about Freddy, dude knows more about bacon than anybody else in the history of the world. We literally hang out and come to each other’s house. You said Nomad so I said Martial Law, that’s one his cigars I used to smoke a lot of. – So the Martial Law cigar was named after you? – So right, and that Fred lives right there. Him and I are probably be youngest out the group. So the Police Athletic League, we just did an event at his house in his backyard, so anytime somebody got something going on, we all support each other. – So we just did, matter of fact, with Mr. Fred Rewey-the Cigar Man Who Knows His Bacon – So we’re pretty much there hanging out. Phillips, so we both live in the community right next to it. – So, in Orlando in Sand Lake Road, Corona Cigar, Sand Lake. So, we probably talk or see each other damn near every day. – Now, Howie and I, we stay right in the back of the cigar lounge. ![]() – I work out in the morning about 6:30, 7, with my nephews and my son, and after that about 10:30, 11, I’m hitting the cigar lounge. – You’re enjoying going to the lounges right now to hang out with the older guys? I’m sitting across from Ike Taylor and Howie, of Howard G Cigars, thank you gentlemen for joining me. Come be a part of the cigar lifestyle with Boveda. ![]() – There’s a story inside every smoke shop, with every cigar and with every person. So for me, a cigar setting, even though I’m 41, it still matured me when I was playing in the league. So, he’ll be more mature than the typical 15 year old that’s not in a cigar setting. You give me a kid who’s 15, and without him even smoking a cigar, you let him hang around guys who are 28, 35, 40 years old, his maturity level gonna fast forward ASAP. – You know why? Because this is life in general. With you especially in professional sports, I’m sure you see young immature athletes coming up in the ranks. That’s where you’re really starting to get yourself into a position of grooming yourself to be a better man, grooming yourself to be a better person. Maybe you do, but now that you’re 20 and above, this is where it shapes your life. I mean, do you remember really what your favorite color was when you were five years old? I don’t know. – Yeah you talked about maturity, and I found, somebody had said, “maturity doesn’t really happen for me until like 20 to 40 years old.” They felt like that’s when they really became mature in understanding who they were and remembering it, right? You know, once you reach 20, you don’t remember a quarter of your life, because you were so small, you were a kid, you were younger.
